    This morning i’m setting for a few days in the Swiss Alps, checking out the long-delayed Forum Wallis festival in Leuk. The Lent Series will continue while i’m away, and i’ll be reporting on the (in all likelihood, weird and wonderful) goings-on in Switzerland once i’m back next week.

    This year’s Proms season has been announced in the last few days, and alongside all the standard fare, there’s the usual small smattering of contemporary music to get mildly excited about.

    It’s tempting to hope that 2022 might finally bring an end to the widespread disruption that has plagued concerts and festivals for the last two years. With that optimism in mind, there are some interesting events to look forward to in the coming weeks.
